SUMMARY:Morbid Tales: A Night of Horror & Heavy Metal
DESCRIPTION:To kick off the Halloween season Durham County Library once 
 again joins forces with the Horror Writers' Association to conjure a

 live horror readings from local authors Richard Dansky and Jon Carroll 
 Thomas\, followed by a special performance by harbingers of woe Cosmic 
 Reaper\, descending from the the stars to bring doomful riffs and strange 
 terrors to the land. \n\nThis event will be held at Moon Dog Meadery\,

 Register for more information and a reminder email. \n\nPlease be advised

 \n\nWidely regarded as a leading expert on video game writing and 
 narrative\, Richard Dansky has worked on franchises such as The Division\, 
 Far Cry\, Splinter Cell\, Assassins Creed\, and more. He is the author of 
 The Video Game Writer’s Guide to Surviving an Industry That Hates You\, 
 and co-authored the upcoming horror graphic novel Bridgewater with French 
 comics legend Matz. Richard has published 8 novels and 2 short story 
 collections\, with his next novel\, Nightmare Logic\, scheduled for release 
 in 2026. He has worked extensively in tabletop RPG writing as well\, having 
 been a core contributor to White Wolf’s classic setting The World of 
 Darkness. Richard is also pretty sure he is the only working horror writer 
 to have won PC Gamer Magazine’s coveted “Mission Pack of the Year” 
 award\, and he was briefly the world’s leading expert on Denebian Slime 
 Devils. https://richarddansky.com/\n\nJon Carroll Thomas is a dark fiction 
 writer\, event coordinator\, and corporate grocery store peon. He lives in 
 a little log house in Raleigh\, North Carolina\, with his beautiful wife\, 
 charming son\, and six spoiled rescue cats. He leads the Quails From The 
 Crypt book club through Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh\, and is a founding 
 member of the North Carolina chapter of the Horror Writers Association. He 
 enjoys vintage cartoons and old movies that take place in creepy\, old 
 houses. His recent stories appear in Whetstone: Amateur Magazine of Pulp 
 Sword and Sorcery\, Cosmic Horror Monthly\, and on the Creepy 
 Podcast.\n\nSince 2017\, Cosmic Reaper has carried a black-flamed torch of 
 tradition\, forged in the long lineage of doom and sludge. Emerging from 
 the shadows of Charlotte\, North Carolina\, the band blends a raw\, 
 southern swing with the full circle of heavy metal—creating a sound as 
 steeped in American mysticism as it is overloaded saturation of amplifier 
 worship. https://cosmicreaper.bandcamp.com/\n\n
